Because the provided edge tape is bonded, it can be manufactured very easily without the need for over stitching, and it has an excellent design that is not inferior to the edge of a conventional over stitched mat. Have.

  Hereinafter, a floor mat of the present invention will be described in detail according to an embodiment shown in the drawings. The floor mat 11 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided with a backing 13 on the back side of a base fabric 12.

  Examples of the base fabric 12 include non-woven fabrics, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, paper, felts, and composites obtained by combining one or more of these. In addition, the raw material and structure of the base fabric 12 are not specifically limited, What is necessary is just to determine suitably in consideration of the use and use condition of the said floor mat.

  The pile fabric 14 is driven into the base fabric 12 at a predetermined interval (an interval of about 4 mm in the illustrated example) so that a predetermined volume is obtained, so that the design of the floor mat 11 is enhanced.

  An adhesive layer 16 is formed on the back side of the base fabric 12 for the purpose of preventing the pile yarn 14 from coming off. The adhesive layer 16 is made of, for example, a urethane-based moisture curable adhesive, a hot melt adhesive, or the like, and stops the pile yarn 14 from coming off on the back side of the base fabric 12 on which the pile yarn 14 is driven. . The adhesive layer 16 may be made of, for example, a spider web-like adhesive and formed into a thin film by heat and / or pressure during bonding.

  A backing 13 is provided on the back side of the base fabric 12 through the adhesive layer 16. The backing layer 13 is formed for the purpose of reinforcing and retaining the floor mat 11 or preventing displacement.

  The backing consists of a fiber layer or a resin layer. As the backing 13 made of a fiber layer, for example, a nonwoven fabric, a felt, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or a composite sheet combining two or more of these can be used. In the illustrated example, a backing 13 made of felt is employed.

  On the other hand, for the backing made of a resin layer, for example, a polymer such as styrene-butanediene-styrene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, urethane resin, styrene-butanediene rubber, acrylonitrile-butanediene rubber, A rubber polymer such as butanediene rubber, natural rubber, isoprene rubber, or a mixture of a plurality of these can be used.

  In the case of a backing made of a resin layer, it is possible to reduce the weight by adding a foaming agent to the resin constituting the layer. Examples of the foaming agent include fatty acid soap, sodium alkylallyl sulfonate, sodium higher alcohol sulfate, and sodium monoamide disodium N-octadecylsulfosuccinate.

  In addition, if necessary, the resin may be filled with polyacrylic acid soda, carboxymethylcellulose, talc, aluminum hydroxide, antimony oxide, polyacrylic acid soda, carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, casein, fermented polysaccharide, etc. A thickener, a dispersant such as sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate may be added.

  In the case of a backing made of a resin layer, it is possible to provide a protrusion for preventing misalignment in order to prevent misalignment of the floor mat.

  The edge tape 15 is bonded so as to cover the edge portion of the floor mat 11 configured as described above. The edge tape 15 is the greatest feature of the present invention, and is bonded so as to cover the edge portion of the floor mat. The edge tape 15 is made of a woven fabric and / or a knitted fabric having a length around the edge portion of the floor mat 11 and a width sufficient to cover the edge portion. The edge tape 15 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 was obtained by cutting a knitted fabric composed of a front knitting and a back knitting to a width sufficient to cover the edge portion with a length around the edge portion of the floor mat 11.

  A foamed resin layer or a fibrous layer 15 a is provided inside the edge tape 15. The foamed resin layer or the fibrous layer 15 a is provided in the same shape corresponding to the edge tape 15. The foamed resin layer is made of one or more polymers such as polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber (SBS). These are foam-molded using a conventionally known foam-molding method. A fibrous layer consists of 1 type chosen from felt, a nonwoven fabric, paper, a textile fabric, a knitted fabric, or these composites, for example. In the illustrated example, a foamed resin layer obtained by foaming SBS was used.

  The foamed resin layer is formed by foaming on the tape 15 by applying a resin to the inside of the edge tape 15 in addition to adhering the edge tape 15 cut after foaming to the inside of the edge tape 15. A method can also be taken.

  In this floor mat 11, since the edge tape 15 provided with the foamed resin layer or the fibrous layer 15a on the inside as described above is bonded so as to cover the edge portion around the floor mat 11, the edge portion of the floor mat 11 Increases the sense of volume and increases the sense of quality by the amount of the foamed resin layer or fibrous layer 15a.

  Moreover, in this floor mat 11, in order to adhere | attach the edge tape 15 on the edge part around the floor mat 11, the edge line of the front and back of the edge tape 15 (the driving line of a pile thread | yarn terminal) connects the edge tape 15 to a floor. Since it does not become uneven or does not warp as in the case of sewing around the edge portion around the mat 11, the edge line is aesthetically very beautiful.

  When the edge tape 15 is bonded to the edge portion around the floor mat 11, an adhesive may be applied to the edge tape 15 and / or the edge portion around the floor mat 11 at the time of bonding. An adhesive may be applied to the foamed resin layer or the fibrous layer 15a.

  For example, an adhesive resin such as EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) resin is used, and foaming is performed by adding a thermal decomposable foaming agent such as an azo compound, a nitroso compound, a hydrazine derivative and bicarbonate to the resin. It is also possible to use a resin layer or a fibrous material containing thermal adhesive fibers such as polyethylene and polyester in the constituent fibers. In this case, the edge portion around the floor mat 11 is covered with the edge tape 15, Since the bonding of the edge tape 15 to the edge portion around the floor mat 11 is completed simply by hot pressing in this state, it is more efficient.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the edge tape 15 is attached and bonded around the floor mat 11 so as to cover the edge portion. In this case, both end portions of the edge tape 15 are bonded so as to overlap each other when the edge tape 15 is bonded to the edge portion around the floor mat 11. In the form shown in FIG. 3, both end portions of the edge tape 15 are both thinly provided. For this reason, the overlapping portions of the ends at both ends of the edge tape 15 do not become thick and rise.

  The scope of the present invention is as defined in “Claims”. For example, an adhesive foamed resin layer is provided on the inner side of the edge tape, and the edge tape around the floor mat is provided to the edge portion. It can be freely changed within the scope of “Claims”, such as improving the efficiency of the attachment work.
